Headline Enhancements

ID Salesforce Description
TRANS-3250 - Improved data import and export functionality. The following changes have been made to enhance data import and export features:
  • Introduced a new Data Management App. See Data Management App for detail.
  • Added new supported data entities, providing the ability to onboard carriers through import. See Onboard Carriers for detail.
  • Additionally, introduced the ability to request unknown shipping key and security credential data from a carrier’s API during the import process. Note that not all carriers support this function.
  • During export, added icons enabling users to delete ID mappings or all mappings.
  • Alternative foreign keys can now be exported. This allows users to import/export data without the use of foreign keys. This change provides more clarity of information to the user processing the files. For example, the alternative foreign key LocationDescription could be used instead of the foreign key LocationID. Note that the end result of using either alternative foreign keys or foreign keys are identical.
TRANS-2883 - Golden State Overnight. Updates to carrier configuration. Several changes have been made to Golden State Overnight:
  • The carrier no longer supports the Eltron (EPL) label format.
  • During setup, you now need to configure a tracking number range, and associate it with the Golden State Overnight account. The tracking numbers produced must be between 6 and 20 digits long.
  • The following signature options have been amended in line with GSO signature services:
    • Default (when no Delivery Confirmation option selected). Standard Signature will now be set, where previously this value would have defaulted to No Signature. This change means that a signature will now be required for retail or commercial deliveries, but not for residential addresses.
    • Delivery Confirmation - No Signature. No Signature Required will now be set when this signature service is selected. Previously, this option was not available.

    • The other existing signature options are unchanged. For detail, see Golden State Overnight Reference.
TRANS-3111 - Reports. Additional PB Shipping API - USPS reporting functionality. Expanded support for PB Shipping API - USPS reports:
  • Added a new report, Postage Adjustment Report, which shows all APV Overpay and Underpay transactions with sum totals.
  • Added APV Overpay and Underpay detail to All Transactions - Detail Report and All Transactions - Summary Report.
TRANS-2788 - FedEx Freight Web Services. Added new carrier component. For more details, see FedEx Freight Web Services Reference.
TRANS-3213 - Shipping Apps. Added support for consolidated shipping. The Shipping Apps now features the Trailer Administration tab, allowing users to operate with consolidated shipping. For detail, see Consolidated Shipping.
TRANS-3037 - Administration App. Reference Data can now be managed. You can now add, edit and delete Reference Data, found in the Administration App’s Data tab. Additionally, added a Code column to the Country State Aliases and State Aliases pages.
